Note di degustazione
The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is made from vineyards in both the northern and southern parts of Montalcino; roughly 65% and 35% respectively. It is a fresh, fruity offering with plenty of refinement in its berries, flowers and spices, showing no hard edges and outstanding overall balance. High toned, floral notes give the wine a nice sense of lift on the finish. This pretty, delicate Brunello is best enjoyed young, while the attractive, up-front fruit remains vibrant.

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino, from vineyards in both the northern and southern parts of Montalcino (roughly 65% and 35% respectively), is a fresh, fruity offering with plenty of refinement in its berries, flowers and spices, showing no hard edges and outstanding overall balance. High toned, floral notes give the wine a nice sense of lift on the finish. This pretty, delicate Brunello is best enjoyed young, while the attractive, up-front fruit remains vibrant. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. This is a very convincing set of new releases from Altesino; only the 2008 Rosso is disappointing. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.

Informazioni sul produttore
Altesino is one of the top producers in Brunello di Montalcino. The estate is famous for bottling the first separate Cru from the Montosoli hill, which has since become widely recognised for its distinct, elegant style of Brunello.
